Just wondering what everyone's general experience has been with growing your own hops. Almost time to order some rhizomes...

I learned a crapload about growing hops on a podcast that featured Vinnie Cilurzo from Russian River. Amazing info.

Denny's Brew said:I've been wondering about the Okanagan. Wine country. But its like 40c in the summer and usuually -10 to -20c in the winter, very dry climate. (This year its bean mostly above freezing).
I'm guessing with proper irrigation they would grow well in the summer, but how much direct sunlight can they handle. Like should they be in shade for part of the day?
And what about the winter months?
